It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was there for a second
It cost more than I reckoned
It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was there for a minute
But it didn't begin
It was a beautiful dream
All my dreams crumbling like sand
Leave my shattered world behind me
Run away where it can't find me
Still I feel lonely and unreal
Broken hearted, empty handed
Right here where you left me stranded
It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was there for an hour
Blossomed like a sweet flower
It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was there for a day
But it just wouldn't stay
It was a beautiful dream
Every night I turn off the light
As I fall asleep it haunts me
Somewhere out of reach it taunts me
All these dreams flow in endless streams
Out into the farthest reaches
Washing onto distant beaches
It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was there for a while
Now it's a bittersweet smile
It was a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
It was a beautiful beautiful
Beautiful beautiful dream
